Computer-Based SOTIF Validation (DE0291)
Simulate your System with Bayesian Networks
ISO 21448 - Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF) requires measurable acceptance criteria but does not tell us how to validate those.
This training is fully focused on practical answers how to …
- quantify performance limitations and risks
- identify hidden performance insufficiencies
- minimize uncertainty
- find unknown scenarios & rare hazardous events
- determine probabilities & occurrence rates of hazardous events
- model complex, multi-dimensional dependencies & conditional probabilities
Even brute-force simulation similar to computer games is not a solution, as it does not quantify uncertainties and statistical dependencies based on a solid mathematical foundation.
We provide you with a modern computer-based validation method of SOTIF acceptance criteria which scales to today´s real automotive systems and allows to simulate the complete system with parameters reflecting real-world scenarios.
Why Attend?
- Learn how to model uncertainty
- Overcome the limits to traditional risk assessment approaches
- Use new technology like Bayesian Networks for highly complex systems in real-world scenarios
- quantify performance limitations and risks
Who should attend?
- Product Owners, Function Owners, Domain Experts for AD Systems
- System & SW Engineers
- Experts for Functional Safety and SOTIF
Applicable for Autonomous Driving as well as for other areas that require quantitative risk analysis.
